Basic CRUD Array Operations in JavaScript

 Sometimes it pays just to stick to the basics. Here are CRUD operations for a basic array:

1. Create an element to the end of an array

let clubs = ['baseball','running','computer club'];
clubs.push('tennis');

console.log(clubs);

2. Delete an element from the end of an array

let clubs = ['baseball','running','computer club'];
const lastElement = seas.pop();
console.log(lastElement);

3. Reading an index from an element in an array

let clubs = ['baseball','running','computer club'];
let index = clubs.indexOf("running");
console.log(index);

4. Update an index from an element in an array

let clubs = ['baseball','running','computer club'];
clubs.splice(1, 0, 'tennis');
console.log(clubs);

Higher Order Functions in JavaScript Explained Simply

  What is a higher order function? In JavaScript, a higher-order function is a function that  takes one or more functions as arguments,  or returns a function as output. These functions are a powerful feature of the language that allow you to write concise and expressive code. The best way to learn higher order functions (and likely the most “real-world”) is to look at “map()” and “filter()”. Both take functions as arguments where the function is applied to each element in an array. Map For example, consider the  map  function, which is used to apply a function to each element of an array and return a new array containing the results. The  map   function is a higher-order function because it takes a function as its argumen t, in this case the function to apply to each element of the array. const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; const squares = numbers.map(x => x * x); Filter Another common higher-order function is  filter , which is used to select el...

Immutability in JavaScript

  Immutability is a popular concept not just in JavaScript, but most programming languages in general. The reason behind this of course is functional programming which gives software developers a brand new paradigm to utilize when coding. Let’s dive into the details of mutability and immutability. What is Mutability? A mutable value is one that can be changed without creating an entirely new value.   In JavaScript, objects and arrays are mutable by default, but primitive values are not.  Once a primitive value is created, it cannot be changed, although the variable that holds it may be reassigned. There is nothing wrong with mutability. Take a look at the code below: const dog = { name: 'turtle', age: 10 } // Make a copy of dog object const newDog = dog; // Changing the age of the new dog newDog.age = 12; console.log(newDog === dog); // true As you can see, we’re copying the object to another object and changing the dogs age. The problem is that the change happe...
